About the Home

Built in 1780 by Andrew Northrop, this charming Revolutionary Era Colonial offers a seamless blend of original features combined with today’s modern touches. From the minute you pull up the stone driveway you’ll be impressed by the delightful side porch and surrounding gardens with their stone pathways and the perfectly level, grassy yard surrounded by trees for natural privacy. An open country kitchen and cozy formal dining room greet you as you enter from the side porch, with numerous built-in shelves and closets that add charm and convenience. The spacious formal living room is a perfect space to entertain, with new hardwood flooring, fireplace and an inviting dining nook with bay window. Past the kitchen you’ll find an updated half bathroom and a stunning Great Room with cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, skylights, built-in entertainment center and French doors to the lovely grounds. Upstairs offers four roomy bedrooms with original flooring and hardware, plus a newly renovated bathroom and walk-up attic. Don’t miss the detached 2 car barn garage in back and there’s plenty of room for a pool, too. Recent updates include a new well, oil tank, bathrooms, painting, lighting, appliances, shutters, electrical and much more! Located conveniently just a few minutes from Brookfield’s historic town center, Lake Lillinonah, Candlewood Lake, Federal Road’s shopping and restaurants and I-84/Route 7. A perfect peaceful weekend getaway or year-round residence with charm and history!
